Description

We thought the best way to celebrate Spain’s way of enjoying life was having Campofrío produce the first-ever co-created film in which Spaniards themselves tell us about it in short movie clips.

We partnered with the best producer for that format, Ridley Scott, and other great professionals:

• Isabel Coixet, director: has directed Tim Robbins, Ben Kingsley, Juliette Binoche, Denis Hopper...

• Alberto Iglesias, music composer: 3 times Oscar nominee.

• Javier Mariscal, poster designer: created the Barcelona Olympics corporate image and mascot. Designed Oscar nominated animation movie ‘Chico and Rita’.

Therefore, a movie totally created by real Spaniards, in which great industry professionals would work but just by putting the pieces together and making it emotional and entertaining.

Campofrío’s positioning would naturally give meaning to everything in the movie by opening and closing it with its claim: “Let nothing and no-one stand in our way of enjoying life”.

Execution

Clips were to be recorded and sent in one single day, we needed to build up towards that moment. People had to feel impatient about it, so we started out weeks ina dvance. This way people could start thinking ahead.

Before D-day, director and prescribers were presented on TV almost every day giving tips, insisting on the deadline, the world-class professionals involved, the real world premiere in a film festival...

There were 4 big questions to answer in the clips:

• What do you love?

• What do you believe in?

• What do you dream of?

• What do you fear?

Creating a movie is a tough and long work, so we had to create several milestones to drive attention during the whole process:

• Pre-launch.

• Call for clips.

• Production.

• Premiere at San Sebastián International Film Festival.

• Theatrical release.

• TV and online release.

Outcome

- 23 celebrities committed with +75M impacts in earn media.

- We received 22,638 clips from people in one single day with no incentive (just to be part of the project) with an approximate total of 138,828 minutes of footage.

- 37 million people were impacted, 94% of the population over 15 years of age

- ‘Spain in a day’ achieved 3.5 times higher recall than any other campaign by Campofrío.
